READIN

🦋 Idea for a longer essay

So I've been having this idea, one which I've posted about here several times, that the most important part of my experience of reading Pamuk is a conscious identification of myself with the author and with the narrators. Now I've also posted in the past about how I love singing along with the music I listen to. Hmm -- singing along is a kind of identification with the singer, right? I wonder...

I also wonder whether my identification-with-the-author idea is already ground well trodden among people who think professionally about novels. Reckon I have probably alienated most of the people I could ask about that.

I think it could be an interesting essay. & what--Patrick & Teresa aren't talking to you these days?

Aw, those two intimidate me. I like their blog though.
